Rock and Roll Thugs - Icon For Hire

Sleepless nights at the black and white keys

I’ll let my fingers say it for me Sometimes my spirit’s still so scared

Once I put it in a melody it means so much more to me Fate sealed, I guess this is how I feel

Sometimes I swear the lyrics write me The lyrics write me The melody a remedy to calm me down

You never did approve of the fix I found

Bury all the records in the backyard,

When you’re not looking I’ll go dig them back up You can bury my body in the backyard,

When you’re not looking I’ll go dig myself up And I know all about the drugs they hide inside the music, I know, I know

I know all about the drugs they hide inside the music

And the preacher at church must’ve told you about them too

'Cause you came home dead set on what you had to do You said the demons and drugs hide in rock n roll thugs

If I wanna grow up nice, I better give the music up The melody a remedy to keep me right

You never did approve of my sleepless nights

Bury all the records in the backyard,

When you’re not looking I’ll go dig them back up You can bury my body in the backyard,

When you’re not looking I’ll go dig myself up And I know all about the drugs they hide inside the music, I know, I know

I know all about the drugs they hide inside the music

Oh the words unwind, my hands rebel

I hide behind these notes too well

I can’t pretend anymore

You’re not listening, you don’t understand

You’re not listening, you don’t understand

You’re not listening, you don’t understand

You’re not listening, you don’t understand

Bury all the records in the backyard,

When you’re not looking I’ll go dig them back up You can bury my body in the backyard,

When you’re not looking I’ll go dig myself up Bury all the records in the backyard,

When you’re not looking I’ll go dig them back up You can bury my body in the backyard,

When you’re not looking I’ll go dig myself up And I know all about the drugs they hide inside the music, I know, I know

I know all about the drugs they hide inside the music
